If you ever wondered where spare parts from previous space projects have been going lately, here is a collection of parts from the Jet Propulsion Labs (JPL) at Sphere.
You can read from the tags of JPL space projects. Sphere indicates that none of these parts are rejected, just obsolete parts, spares, surpluses. Many marked as "Space qualified or Flight spare"
Galileo, Tiros, Topex, STFL, TIFN

If not usable for your latest home satellite project -- some would make great Christmas ornaments !
